HE colors have dried on the palette ; the artist has
folded his easel. It is done — Microcosm, the
portrait of our little world. Gay lights of laugh-
ter shade into the gray of sighs, and the tender
purple of memories, composite of all the glori-
ous days of '24.

SOU are soon going out into a chaotic world, the problems of which
you must help to solve. It is my hope that you may have gained
through your association with Simmons College something that
will make you mindful of your responsibilities and thoughtful as
well as resourceful in the assuming of them.

To be a constructive force in the midst of disintegrating influences your
life must be well-ordered, rational and wholesome, — that is, it must be a
life of principle. To achieve this, in turn, there must be the self -discipline
without which every effort toward progress becomes futile. With discipline
of yourself you may conquer the world. Your college years should have
begun to teach you what you must inevitably learn — that the education of
the will is necessary for all right living, and that the existence that is
"carried about by every wind of fashionable doctine" is useless to itself and
to others.

Strive then for the educated will, that you may face life bravely, calm
and unafraid in the midst of changing circumstances. You will find that it
simplifies our complex modern existence, and helps us to find happiness in
the few fundamental things which are really necessary for our well-being.

"Syl," "Sylie"

"Though little, she was fierce."

Syl's used to large cities and she's a firm believer in young: Ameri-
can independence, but since she's come to the large and conservative
city of Boston, she's had to curb her "wild western" ideas. She's
nevertheless a hustler, bubVing over with plans, helpful hints, always
a life saver. Her numerous picnics and feeds are only outnumbered
by her frequent trips to North Hall telephone.

"Betty 7

"When did morning ever break
And find such beaming eyes awake?"

In trying to find Betty's one ambition we had to compromise on a
half dozen or so ; she wants to be a dietitian in a hospital, but we often
find her at Schrafft's blissfully disregarding "calorific value." She may
open a tea room in Bangor, Maine ! We're certain the morsels she cooks
would bring praise from Fannie Farmer !

To see Betty dance, swim and skate you wouldn't think she knew
a calorie from a Paramecium ! We're sure she will succeed as mistress
of her tea room, unless — oh, well, we can't predict, but often a frat pin
holds a world of prophecy in itself.

Florence W. Adams

"Flossie"

"Thou, in our wonder and astonishment,
Hast built thyself a life-long monument."

Florence's forte is walking right through and past difficulties.
Anyone who can calmly smile when asked to embark from Newburyport
in time to arrive at Boylston Street at 6 :30 a. m. is our idea of a 1924
model. To be willing is miraculous, but to smile at the prospect is
nothing short of stunning.

We feel assured that in Florence's future tea room, when the help
fail to arrive, or the supplies are snowed in or possibly the janitor goes
on a spree, Florence will merely don her stiffest apron and her calmest
manner, and make things fly faster herself than the whole force put to-
gether could do.

"What a strange thing is man, and what a stranger is woman."

How does she do it? As if an intensively extensive course in Li-
brary Science were not enough — she manages to retain sufficient interest
and courage to include her Saturdays, too, and take two extra courses
at B. U. And she is full of all kinds of enthusiasm from concerts and
Simmons, to the intricacies of book-binding machinery and cumulative
indexes.

"1 tell you, she'll make her mark."

'Tis said that some girls in college think only of their marks. Put

however, she has stuck by the Library School, but perhaps her efficient

to the ranks of '24, and about ninety-nine per cent, of us wish that we

'Mell"

"The little nameless, unremembercd acts of kindness and of love."

Probably no one will ever know how many of these unselfish acts
Amelia has performed, for she always does them so quietly. She is so
full of fun, with even a bit of deviltry in her, that you might not sus-
pect her of so much generosity until you took a good look at those big,
sympathetic eyes. And capable — well, when she says, "All right, I'll
do it," you know it will be done— just right, too. Mell has just one
trouble ; she finds it absolutely impossible to giggle without a siren at-
tachment. That's another one of the things we love about her, though.

these things could not keep her busy, so, in between she went to the

"My mind to me a kingdom is."

We of the dormitories complain of lack of time to study and groan
over tests, themes and assignments. Here is a commuter who finds
time, in spite of the narrow gauge, to get all A's, or sd nearly so that
to argue about it is mere quibbling. We thought that, like Samson, per-
haps Eva's strength was in her hair, but she bobbed that and still the
A's roll in. For our own consolation we mutter, "Oh, well, it's a gift,"
but 'way down deep we know it's real BRAINS.

Deebe is our class treasurer — and incidentally a very strong advo-

and forth must make the U. S. Government feel glad they invented that
10 cent stamp. Deebe's a very conscientious worker and quite the most
efficient secretary Simmons could wish for in all its graduates. One
hears little whispers about June, 1926 ! We wonder just what is going
to happen then. It seems that losing a ring proves the old saying, "It
isn't the gift that counts, it's the sentiment behind it."

"Procrastination is the thief of time."

But Eva in this case is the law breaker — she twists poor Father

And like her sister, Eva manages to get there just the same with a fair
sprinkling of "A's."

Everyone likes her and we are sure that her friends at the settle-

wholesome views of life are just what they need most to help them
along.

"A dillar, a dollar, a ten o'clock scholar
What makes you come so soon?

And now you come at noon."

Haste is undignified, Hannah believes. It also makes waste, and
Hannah is an economical sout. She does not waste a minute, no, in-
deed ! There is not one minute to spare between her several classes and
appointments. In fact, they often overlap.

And the irony of fate—the cruel ones in authority gave her a first
hour class in shorthand.

Her themes may be a week late but she gets her "A." No wonder
she comes out on top since she goes in last.

about Edie B., you really don't know her for she's usually doing all three

"Nods and Becks and wreathed smiles."

There's only one objection that instructors have to Grace. She's so
hard to find. Roll call proceeds. "Miss Beck, Miss Beck?" Instructor
hastily looks over class. Sees a crack one inch wide, sees that half
filled with a very, very diminutive person, and marks Grace present.
Grace is absolutely our smallest edition, and we do hope that, next
June, she'll avoid a position connected with filing. It would be a hor-
rible but inevitable catastrophe if her employer, in closing up the office,
should absentmindedly lock her into one of the drawers of the files.
Knowing Grace's unflurried manner, we predict that she'd curl up and
philosophically prepare to spend the night there.

didn't win first prize at one of her home town's annual baby shows !
Certainly the general effect is very alluring, as various students at the

But be not deceived, Florence has her serious moments too ; witness

Brownie lived quite within herself. Junior year she made a little peep —
and with a long blast, it suddenly burst upon us all what a valuable per-

it can't be for her work for that's always the height of all that's good,
and it couldn't possibly be for her actions out in the good old town of
Newtonville, for knowing our demure May we're sure, or at least we're
almost sure, there could be nothing blushable there. So the mystery
remains unsolved, and in the meantime, she continues to get beautifully
rosy whenever anything unexpected arises, from being called on to re-
cite, to the eternal serving of teas which the Household Ec-ers do so
gracefully.

"Ray"

"She is pretty to walk with.
And witty to talk with.
And pleasant, too, to think on."

Everyone knows Ray as a "Good Sport," always ready to do what
the "Crowd" does, except when it interferes with her daily athletic prac-
tice in her favorite exercise — catching the 4.57 before 4.59.

Maybe it's practice in bluffing the venerable Father Time that's
given her such an uncanny skill in getting by with ease in every class.
However, she has a brilliant future to contemplate. Ray will be the
perfect Sec. of '24 if unceasing note-taking in Government is the test.

Charlie is our danseuse, worthy of being writ up, to say noth-

public appearances at Simmons, but anyone who has seen her in the
locker rooms at noon-time can vouch for her ability to present any-
thing from the "Old Gray Mare" to a "perfect Watteau."

The cares of the Sec. course have rested on Charlie's shoulders
about as much as the proverbial water on the back of the proverbial
duck. Maybe it's just luck, but more likely it's those great appeal-
ing eyes that are responsible for the fact that, though she never

"To be calm in the face of difficulties shows great skill."

"Tickie" is, and always will be, a source of envy to us. She
has that maddening ability to learn a great deal in a very short
time. While the rest of us sit tearing our hair over exams, "Tickie"
takes a nap or concocts some fudge — or does nothing at all. We
ask you if that isn't enough to try the soul of any poor plodding
student, specially since "Tickie" gets the most gorgeous marks.
And besides that gift, she has a real genius for being able to stay
out of classes for a few weeks or so and, apparently, not being one
whit overwhelmed by the mountains of work she must make up.
Again we mutter the age-old question — how do you get that way?

with the humble gas range. We only wish she were one of our

(oh, sadly materialistic motive) for the wonderful eats that would
be brought to us from the mystic temples on the third floor.

When Ruth came to us from Mount Holyoke with her super-

the joke's on us when we see her stroll into Miss Davis' class with
her work ahead of time! At 2:05 the earth apparently swallows all
trace of Ruth until 8:45 the next morning, but we understand that
Simmons is running in close competition with other interests. If
that's the case, we're glad that Ruth's impartial and gives us at

started out bravely at Simmons determined to devote her life to
being an efficient Secretary, only to decide that a Household Eco-

men must eat!

We're glad that memories and associations brought back our
slim, attractive girl-of-the-pretty-clothes. We wonder though if
she's going to change her mind sometime and say, "I don't" instead
of the conventional "I do." Something about the interest she dis-
plays when anyone mentions recipes and breakfasts and luncheon
sets tells us that we can be pretty sure she won't.

Dottie's one of the people you mention first when you're brag-

but the only time we did not see her happy was when she was burn-

Dottie has her library shelves neatly arranged with German books.
As a librarian, Dottie would excel, but we all think that she will

near together in the Refectory, which is quite some Herculean task.
We can't decide whether Lolly prefers an aeroplane, an automo-

two- wheeled device of some kind. Perhaps a motorcycle, if the

All in all, we know we owe our "Best Sport" more than we can

she's never absent, late, or anything but what a good future secre-

have him say, "Could you speak a little louder, please?"

''Hang worry — care will kill a cat.'

Isn't it funny the things some people worry about? First, Doris
bobbed her hair and then she put it up because — most foolish of ideas —
she thought we wouldn't think her dignified enough ! As though we
could think her anything else.

Then she'll worry about there being positively no chance of getting
a man for the next dance — and lo, she brings one for herself and
usually provides a couple for the less fortunate among us.

She does love history, though. And why not? Doesn't she help
make it by cutting those beautiful and artistic stencils every week ?

Ina Granara

"The true knight of learning, the world holds him dear,"

Serenely, sedulously, sanely, steadily scientific is Ina, as far as her
courses are concerned. But no one could be less scientific than Ina in
her off moments, while driving a Ford, losing her purse, missing ap-
pointments or trains, or otherwise amusing herself. However, when
we think it over, perhaps all this is just the passion for experiment
getting the better of her. She must have an innate longing to see how
far she could tempt Fate without suffering any too-damaging conse-
quences. One thing she need never worry about — that's marks. Ina's
instructors forget there are any letters in the alphabet other than the
first, when they ccme to consider her grades. Maybe if we all had that
worry off our shoulders, we'd feel like experimenting along other lines,
too.

Where's Marguerite? With Helen. There's the story of a college

fork, and just as well matched.

We all watched Marguerite with awe when she gaily navigated the
treacherous waters of a trial balance with her left hand. Most of us
found accounts figures bad enough to handle with both hands, but Mar-
guerite seemed to sail calmly through — all this being but our frivolous
way of telling her how much we admire her courage and stick-to-itive-

knows what's good for the angels, when Emmy gets to Heaven, he'll
give her a piano instead of a harp. She doesn't need a halo — she
already has one, bestowed by popular vote, for anyone who so uncom--
plainingly plays for everything from between-course singing in the Re-
fectory to dancing, at all hours, should have a diamond-set halo right
here on earth. The only reason we don't give her one is that such a
very tiny person with such a huge crop of hair really has enough on her
shoulders without one.

We really can't understand how any one with so tender a heart and

General Science course, we might explain the combination. Anyhow,
we'll take on any bets offered that Gussie would never cut up a live
cat, — no, not even for Dr. Mark himself. In spite of the daily trials

Grace got a list of Eastern Colleges last year, looked them all over —

a valuable new addition. When Grace begins to spin a yarn, eyes, ears
and mouths open wide. She has the happy faculty of making us just
dote on anecdotes. One of the unexplained decisions in Grace's career
is why she chose the Library Course instead of the Secretarial. If you

'Mu"

"The dignity and height of honor.'

Mu has a great faculty of making things seem what they aren't.
To see her lead a Y. W. meeting you'd think she was the most dignified
of seniors — but she isn't. When she appears as Mrs. John Simmons
you'd think she just stepped out of the frame of a picture of a lady of
the eighteenth century — but she didn't. Why she can even make you
think that it's trouble with her teeth that makes her visit the dentist so
often — but it isn't.

Ruth S. Langley

"Ruethe"

"Doctor to a kind of disease which they call lack of money."

A general impression of Ruth includes a deep voice, soprano
giggle, and a set of account books. Without the last item, you couldn't
really be sure that it was Ruth. Most of us know her as the dispenser
of blue slips by means of which our pet organization spends its money.
Some of us know her as the dispenser of more laughs in five square
minutes than any other "grave and reverend senior" around these parts.
Her masterpiece, in the line of music, is, "Every Little Onion has a
Flavor All Its Own," and, in hockey, "Every Little Round Ball has a
Goal Post All Its Own." We leave it to Ruth to provide the flavor and
make the goal, and best of all, she always does it.

quiet about herself we might tell you what that twinkle means. But

in life, and that it's Dot's constant companion.

Not without difficulty. Her style's cold, and her interpretive typing

Just because she happens to be President of the Academy with
an all A record, or so near as to stun the rest of us poor mortals, is

She is the living, breathing example of successful co-ordination of

would say :

Past — To aim for a "B" in order to get a "C".

Present — To stretch her week's allowance to cover a multitude of
sins (tea, theater, candy, etc.)

Future — That suite for two, and a goodly salary.

Marion Elizabeth Pfeiffer

"Everything's got a moral, if you can but see it."

If you have ever seen, in your travels on the subway, a girl with
dark hair and big black eyes muttering to herself as she hangs from
a strap, she wasn't someone escaped from that red brick building on
Brookline Avenue. No, it was just Marion Pfeiffer, learning her
English 70 speech as she commuted from Natick. Yes, Marion pre-
pares her English well. We don't know how true it is, but they say
that almost any evening you will find her at home, practicing before
an audience of one !

"Another flood of words, a very torrent"

It's always such a comfort to have Eleanor in one's class, because
you know that when one of those awful silences follow an instructor's
Question, when you can hear the ticking of the clock, and everyone
prays for the bell to ring, Eleanor will save the day. If she can't
answer the question, she can at least ask another, and that's such a
help. And if somebody else hazards an answer, Eleanor's right there
ready to argue the point — and there's another period gone. Is com-
muting from Newton so conducive to ready response? If so, perhaps
more of us had better try it.

appreciating another joke, probably the one about the D. N. B. All
through Freshman, Sophomore, and Junior years Lena commuted all
the way from Haverhill, and during that time made thirty-six sweaters,
seventeen luncheon sets and several acquaintances, which, we'll submit,
is enough for one small, turned-up-nosed person.

which many a class affair has revolved and our tennis tournaments
wouldn't "turn" without her. And for the benefit of those who might
chance to think Fran quiet, let us whisper that when the brown eyes

Such a quandary — how to describe Rindgie. We might call her an

ing now and then, going to dances when she says she doesn't know any
men ; playing her fiddle when we can't hear Kreisler, and always getting
candy from Springfield, and letters from the U- S. S. Huron?

Perhaps the least said the better, for a year-book's no place for sen-

"Lo, hear the gentle lark."
Of course, it must be lots of fun to be a lark, but it's much more
fun to have a voice like one and still be a real girl, for who ever heard
of a lark wearing a third-finger diamond? Tommy does, though, and
the easiest way to create a large amount of excitement is to show
Tommy an orange and black color scheme. Riot calls have been sent in
for less cause.

Tommy is '24's mainstay for all occasions when we want to be
charmingly entertained. That's not all, though. She's as valuable on
a hockey field as she is in a Glee Club, and when you've said that, you
might as well stop. Mr. Collester himself could put it no better.

"Tommy"

"It pays to advertise."

It's hard to realize that our Tommy is a dignified Senior 'cause she
looks like a saucy young imp with her bobbed hair and black eyes.
Tommy plays hard and works hard. Do you want proof? Just look
over Tommy's mail and see the Hanover, Providence, West Point, U- S.
Navy and other postmarks, and take a look at her marks, and you'll
agree with us.

We haven't even mentioned Tommy's toil as Advertising Manager
of this august book. We don't know how she does it, but we'd hate to
lose her with her uncanny skill at making the Tired Business Man
realize how much more tired he'd be without an ad. in Mic.

"Rommie"

"When we have matched our racquet and these balls."

If tennis, Y. W. or Dramatics lack enthusiasm, it's not Rommie's
fault, because she herself is just as full of it as she can hold, and she
shows it in every step she takes. But if you want to start a young riot,
ask her about Social Service work, and you're off for the evening. She
delights in picking up small boys who have lost their way, and in tell-
ing young mothers how much orange juice to feed the baby, and she
revels in diseases with the most impressive names, and in settling the
problems of the world in the wee small hours. But in all her social
work it is easy to see that she has a decided leaning toward psychology !

"Tippy"

"I love all books, but specially ledgers, journals, and the like."

Tippy doesn't say so terribly much, but what she does say is law.
At least to judge by that big fat A in Commercial Law, every remark
she let slip in that class was the perfectly good law of the land.

And that's not all. There aren't many graduating classes that can
boast of a future C. P. A. among their number. We wonder if the
combination of a love for accounting and a passion for dancing are
compatible. Perhaps Tippy is goin^ to combine them and prove "figures
dancing in her head" help to get them down on paper.

But don't confuse a love for sleep in the morning with general inac-
tivity. You should see her behind the scenes at dramatics, at clean-up

fly to instinctively when you want something done just right in a hurry,
from a last minute write-up to a costume for tomorrow's show. In-

above-mentioned social gatherings, anything but exactly on time, or a

Although Trot hasn't studied Appreciation of Art, we all agree that
she has quite an extensive gallery of her own — often enjoyed by the
neighbors too. She has all sizes, from one and a half inch to two feet
in length, and strange as it may seem, the same model posed for all of

founding an Art museum.

If we want someone to give us some help on the same work we've been
putting off — "Ask Sally"— "She can do it" — and it'll be done right too.

One of the few things we are not going to forget when we leave
Simmons is the joyous "haloee" with which Mary greets some of her

we must admit she usually starts to "up and do" about the 58th
second, and arrives about the 59th second, she gets there just the same.

Among her chief peculiarities is an extraordinary fondness for ani-

troubles. But did you know that Mary has for two years read, se-
lected, and coached plays, besides taking part in them? And yet, as
she hands you a book at the library desk, with a most librarian air,
you would think from her smooth hair and spick-and-span collar that
she hadn't a care in the world. Though Wisp will no doubt be a
grand success in her line, doesn't it seem a pity to waste such a
lovely professor behind a library desk? Some day when she is asked
her opinion of a book she will doubtless say, "It has a slight be-e-any
flavor."

all very dangerous (to the opposite sex). Here's a maiden who can

never hurried and almost never flurried and, while things may not get
done exactly to the minute, they do get done, and done well, if you
trust 'em to Kay. She's established a record here at College. No one's
ever seen her, not even once, with a hair out of place or a wrinkle

stand it, but we do know enough to admire any one who knows that

thinks Philadelphia, and incidentally the University of Pennsylvania,

Somewhere and sometime before Marjorie came to Simmons, she
took a course in logic — fortunate damosel. Now, although she herself
swears by it, we don't know whether or not it was the fault of that
course, but we do know that while the rest of us are thinking, that is
to say, when we are visibly attempting concentration upon weighty
subjects, Marjorie uses the straight line method and hits the Q. E. D.
with a bang, thereby saving time, energy and worry. That's efficiency,
or rather, "that's logic. But Marjorie, tell us this — is it a principle
of logic that a maid with such a logical lingo, should have such an il-
logical twinkle in her eye? She'll merely repeat, "Yes, we have no

pet mountain. It must have been that little habit that makes her so
tall and stately. Library work's all well and good in its place, but
there are several young Lochinvars that come out of the West who
seem to say that a librarian's place is, or should be, in the home.

The new Constitution has been on trial for a year now, and the marked
success of that year is an assurance that the change was a wise one.

The purpose of Student Government is, as we have so often been told,
to train students for better citizenship. The problem of living with people is
essentially the same in one community as in another ; and it follows that if
we are fair here and now, to ourselves and to our college, we can not fail to
be fair in matters that come our way later when we have completed our
apprenticed citizenship.

'24 has been a year of innovation, of changes in the old order to make
way for the new. The most pronounced change under the new Constitu-
tion came, of course, when the Dormitory Government Association was
abolished, and the Dormitory Committee, subordinate to the Student Gov-
ernment Council, took its place.

The Committee, meeting once in two weeks, discusses the problems
arising in the dormitories, and submits suggestions to the Student Govern-
ment Council, which has the final power of decision. Of all the features to
be found in the new arrangement, perhaps the most significant is the privi-
lege of the members to bring non-members to meetings of the Committee.
By this means the Committee hopes to obtain ideas that shall represent the
dormitory groups as a whole. By this direct participation, too, students
should become more familiar with the work of the Committee and gain
sympathy for its aims.

The Student Government Conference Committee furnishes the com-
mon meeting ground for faculty and student opinions of Simmons' prob-
lems. In general, the Committee reviews those decisions of Student Coun-
cil which affect matters of college policy.

The faculty members of the Committee have devoted much time and
thought to the solution of student problems, and have shown never-failing
sympathy for the student view-point. For this the student members, as
well as the student body at large, thank them sincerely, and for the closer
contact between faculty and students which their membership in the
Committee permits.

It has been a long, slow process, this accumulating of our endowment
fund. From the alumnae, student campaigns, fashion shows, dances, card
parties, and private donations it has trickled in ; and the spirit which ac-
companied each dollar has built up an indestructible wall of faith in our
college. Not only do our students and graduates feel this, but judging from
the generous offer of the Rockefeller Foundation, they, too, have an
inkling of what Simmons' spirit means.

The Academy, the honorary society of Simmons, was founded in 1918
to encourage an interest in academic and cultural studies as opposed to
those of a technical nature. In an effort to widen the influence of the so-
ciety, an amendment to the constitution was passed this year, which admits
to associate membership girls who are deeply interested in the aims and
ideals of the Academy. Those aims and ideals have been expressed by a
former president in these words :

"In a place like Simmons, where the trend is ever more and. more
away from the academic and intellectual, the ideal of keeping one's wits as
nimble as one's fingers has tremendous potential significance. The striving
is not for mechanical accuracy in any branch whatever ; the striving is for
sympathetic appreciation of the best in the realm of the intellect.

"The Academy should teach its members to humanize their knowledge,
not merely to amass it by dint of memory strain. 'Not a having and a
resting, but a growing and a becoming is the character of perfection as
culture conceives it.' This, I think, may well be the central idea around
which the Academy should build."

This year, the Ellen Richards Club is five years old, and really begins
to feel grown up. We have had several open meetings with very interest-
ing and enlightening speakers — and our picnic with Mr. Hilliard to meet
us at the car-line, and Dr. Mark to tell us stories by firelight — and initia-
tion, with branding of foreheads, which is Simmons' only real initiation.

The aim of the Ellen Richards Club is to promote interest in science
among students. This year, we have added a bulletin board to our pos-
sessions, and feel that we have kept the student body fairly well informed
in the lines of modern science — popular and otherwise.

Student Forum is a consolidation of the Civic League and Current
Events of former years, and has attended to the various functions of those
two bodies this year, bringing- speakers to the group meetings in North
Hall ; keeping Students' Room supplied with newspapers, and posting clip-
pings of interest on the Civic League Bulletin Board. Forum has even
gone out of its way and undertaken to supply ushers at public forum meet-
ings in the Old South Meeting House.

Everything which stimulates thought and discussion of questions of
political, social, economic and cultural importance is in Forum's province,
and the real support and interest which students have given it this year in-
dicates that its niche is secure among the student organizations.

Have your proud parents been forwarding clippings about you —
clippings inexplicably flaunting your most abhorred photograph? Have
all your offices, honors, committees, et al., been unearthed and exposed to
the gaze of "the great unwashed," incidentally bringing you importance in
the eyes of the folks back home ? Be not alarmed ! Mr. Holmes is not on
your trail, nor is the "Professional grade" Committee divulging any
secrets. It's only the new Press Board amusing itself.

The Press Board was organized in the winter to fill a very pro-
nounced need at Simmons. It took counsel of the very efficient Press
Boards represented at the first Intercollegiate Press Conference held at
Connecticut College, and mapped out its own course with their accomplish-
ments in view.

The value of the right sort of publicity to a college is unquestionable.
The Press Board is dedicated to the purpose of securing for Simmons all
the publicity of the right sort that is available. In addition, the actual
writing of news stories and, in some cases, the contact with editors them-
selves, is an invaluable experience for budding young journalists.

Aside froml its religious purpose, Y. W. C. A. serves Simmons in
countless practical and social ways. It is a sort of nll-in-the-cracks asso-
ciation, quietly but effectively accomplishing certain vital things. The
various committees of Y. W. divide this work among themselves: child wel-
fare work, Sunday afternoon entertainment in the dormitories, meetings
for economic education, classes in religious discussion, student employ-
ment, Thanksgiving baskets and their distribution, Christmas and Easter
vespers.

The chief interest of Y. W. C. A. in the Spring is the sending of dele-
gates to Maqua. These delegates become the backbone of our Y. W. ; from
Maqua comes pep, loyalty, inspiration, and the capacity for fundamental
thinking.

"We Unitarians" have been thriving well this year. Whether our
growth has been caused by an especially propitious Simmons climate or the
unusual qualities of Boston soil is disputable ; but we can feel sure that our
access to fine speakers who have so willingly come to our meetings and led
our minds in the right direction, has been the greatest factor of the year's
success.

Besides our own very sociable and enlightening monthly meetings, held
in North Hall, we have tried to take an active interest in some of the re-
ligious and social activities of other young people's societies in Boston.
And we have gained much from this mutual appreciation of Unitarian
ideals.

We are greatly indebted to Miss Goodrich for her loyal support and
ever-present help in time of trouble — or otherwise.

That this spirit of co-operation and interest will continue to grow as
our club goes on is a certainty ; and we hope that, with our greater under-
standing, gained by religious conviction, we may, go out from the college
better able to serve and appreciate our fellow-beings.

The Christian Science Society of Simmons College has continued dur-
ing the year 1923-1924, the endeavor to fulfill the purpose of its organiza-
tion, which is to bring about a greater realization of friendship and co-
operation among the Christian Scientists of the college ; to welcome enter-
ing Christian Scientists ; to increase friendship and love for all members
of the college ; and to offer to those so desiring, an opportunity to learn the
truth of Christian Science.

The regular meetings have been held every week.

The year 1923-1924 has served to bring the Newman Club one step
nearer to its ideal : the establishment of means of social intercourse among
Catholic students in college, and the promotion of their moral and religious
welfare.

In addition to the usual social functions — the dance, bridge party and
teas — we have had several delightful speakers come to the college, and we
have held a joint meeting with the Catholic Club of Technology. Many
of our members have taken an enthusiastic part in social service work
under the direction of the Catholic Charitable Bureau.

All societies are formed because there is a need felt which must be met.
Such a need was felt by the Jewish students for an informal opportunity
of getting acquainted with Jewish life and thought, thus becoming more
cultivated and less prejudiced.

As its symbol was chosen the Menorah candlestick which represents a
bearer of light. The most famous Menorah was taken from the Temple in
Jerusalem in the year 70 by the Romans, and lost from the sight of men.
Since then, the Menorah has been the symbol of our race. This perpetual
fire of the Menorah has stood for, and still stands for, the glories, the
spirit through defeat, the renaissance and freshly radiant service to man-
kind of the Jew.

Menorah at Simmons has been through its formative stage, has passed
through the "dark ages." It is now in its golden era, and with the aid and
interest of all it hopes to make this an everlasting golden age, just as its
light is everlasting.

The Review is, potentially at least, a vital force in securing the unity
which the college needs and strives for. Within its pages meet and mingle
all those who look to Simmons as their Alma Mater — both undergraduates
and staid alumnae — together with the faculty and administration. It en-
ables those who are now within our halls to see the college as a whole in
truer perspective ; for those who have already gone out "into the world," it
is the chief remaining link between them and the institution which has
helped to make them — and which they have helped to make. And through
it, faculty and students become better acquainted with each other's doings
and points of view.

To carry this three-fold burden at all required some degree of versa-
tility ; but however the Board may labor, increased co-operation from with-
out remains the only true hope of the magazine's progress. The establish-
ment of the Simmons News has greatly simplified the problems of the
Review. Nevertheless, the success of the venture will always depend upon
the interest and loyalty of the college at large.

To most folks a calendar is a handy little contrivance for determining
what the date is. Not so for Mic Board ! About the fifteenth of last Sep-
tember, our calendar ceased to be anything pleasant and became instead the
nemesis that pursued us diligently until it had galloped over the days up
to March first. On these pages, fore and aft, you have the offerings we
place on the altar of scurrying Time. Mic-worw, we weary twelve hesi-
tantly dare to hope that, having appeased our stalking Fate, we have, at
the same time, produced a book worthy to represent '24.

The News came to light early last fall as a supplement to the Review.
Like all precocious offspring, however, it soon broke away from the par-
ental round-table and set up one of its own, with a separate staff and its
own constitution. The News first appeared in two, three, four, and then
five mimeographed sheets, and the way it survived labor troubles was
wondrous to behold. Then, in January, its sub-deb days were over ; it made
its bow to a greatly increased circulation becomingly clad in; black and
white and printers' ink — a printed newspaper at last.

The News' aims are modest: to print all the news of interest to Sim-
mons students, to be a medium of expression for them, to help to bring
about a feeling of unity between the dorm girls and the day girls, to in-
crease college spirit, and any other little thing that may boost Simmons.

The Home Economics Club was organized in the Spring of 1923 for the
Instructors and all Juniors, Seniors, or Special Students in the Household
Economics Department.

Its activities have included preparing and serving the teas given by
Faculty to their advisees, and through the returns from such work the Club
is supported by its members.

The Club has conducted trips to food and textile factories in and
around Boston. By these means, and through affiliation with the American
and the New England Home Economics Associations, the Club hopes to ful-
fill its purpose — to provide a point of contact between the Home Economics
student in Simmons and the field of Home Economics outside.

Dramatics, this year, has more than come up
tions. The early fall meeting had for its distinguished guests, Eddie
Dowling of "Sally, Irene, and Mary," and also Sally, Irene and Mary them-
selves. The informal talks of our guests and the impression we gained of
these players are not soon to be forgotten.

On the evenings of November 16 and 17, following the successful pre-
cedent set by the Dramatics Association last year, we put on three one-act
plays, and again the plan was a success. The Freshman play, "The Knave
of Hearts," called forth predictions for great things in the future of the
Association, while the Juniors, with "The Bracelet," and the Sophomores
with "The Pot Boiler," added to the laurels which they had gained for
themselves last year.

After the success — financial and otherwise — of November's venture,
Dramatics splurged ; and the splurge came in the shape of a new stage floor
minus the historic squeak of former times, and a new day-light lighting
equipment. These were both great assets in the production of "The Cas-
silis Engagement" in February.

Reflections on the "Play" by the "Professor"
"The Cassilis Engagement" was all too short. The engagement deserved to be
among those advertised as having had a run of "one hundred nights in London, New
York and Boston." At least, so thought the "Professor," as he sat helplessly engulfed
in the depths of his front row wicker chair. Never would he have believed it possible
that lessons could be so perfectly learned. It was beyond his experience of the per-
formance of these players as they said their lines before him on other quite different
occasions in the college building. He recalled that the physiologists say that food and
exercise are most effective when taken with enjoyment, and he suspected that a similar
relation between memory and enjoyment must exist. These reflections did not occupy
him at the time, however, for he was completely absorbed by the perfection of Lady
Remenham's portrayal, the charm of Mrs. Cassilis, the humor of Mrs. Borridge, and
the art of Ethel Borridge, which seemed too good to be mere acting. The performance
of all the rest of the company, also, he found so remarkably excellent that he trembled
to think what might happen if they should attempt to practice their art in his class
room. The "Professor" is grateful for this opportunity to congratulate the Dramatic
Club on its new stage and settings, which will be an incentive to further successes in the
future.

Glee Club has grown to hitherto unheard-of proportions this year,
acquiring even the dignity of a waiting list, while some eighty of us flaunt
our new pearl pins to show that we survived try-outs.

Convocation and Christmas' Vespers were our first opportunities to
play our little part, and then came our concerts — the annual winter con-
cert, a joint concert with B. U. and another with Tufts. The programs
for these concerts were composed of entirely new, and — if we do say it our-
selves — ambitious numbers, which, though it involved hard work on many
a Monday afternoon spent in Library B, gave us a very definite sense of
progress being made. Much of this progress is due to the cheerful effort
and generosity of our director, Mr. Peirce.

"Mandolin Club Rehearsal tonight at 4.15."

This legend, appearing faithfully on the bulletin board every Thurs-
day, might not impress the uninitiated as very significant. But to every
Simmonsite who has followed the development of the Mandolin Club this
year, it suggests hard work, persistence, team work, and the final satisfac-
tion of accomplishment. To this last, no doubt, we may ascribe the per-
fect sangfroid with which our Club played at the joint concerts in the
winter.

Mr. Rice, who took our musical career in hand this fall, has our deep-
felt appreciation for his efforts.

Athletics started early this year when Phoebe Moorhead, '24, won the
tennis tournament again. Then came hockey, with Miss Feaver to coach us
for a week, and the hard-fought inter-class games. An individual cup was
awarded for the first time this year, being presented to Helen Sargent at
the hockey dinner. The basketball season began a little earlier than usual,
followed by Track-Day, the last, but by no means least exciting event in our
year's program.

The Life-saving classes were resumed, and under the instruction of
Esther Holbrook and Frances Fowler several more girls became certified
life-savers. It was voted that life-saving should be an organized sport,
counting a third of a point toward numerals.

Miss Diall instructed a Junior class in fencing during the winter, and
we have hopes of including archery and shooting in our list of organized
sports. In fact, we even dare to hope for competition with other nearby
colleges in the near future.

All this has cost money, but we've managed to pad our little income by
selling sandwiches at the Campus "dorms." It was worth the effort, but we
hope that next year increased membership in Athletics will put us on a
sounder financial footing.

Field Hockey this year started with enthusiasm for Miss Feaver, and
wound up with excitement over the tie game. But these, of course, were
only the high spots. In between, the players worked hard improving their
game, directed by Miss Diall and Miss Feaver.

For the first time, an individual Hockey Cup was awarded this year
by vote of the members of the four teams. At the annual Hockey Dinner it
was presented to Helen Sargent, '25.

Tennis started off briskly in the early fall with a large number of con-

and then how it did rain ! But the next Saturday was perfect for the
matches, and they began at 9.

In the semi-finals, 1924 defeated 1926, and 1927 defeated 1925 after a
very closely contested struggle. The players were given time to rest for
the finals while the rooters waited to cheer the match. The contest was a

Informal basketball practices were held for two weeks before the
Christmas vacation, but regular practice started January 7. There fol-
lowed a week of general practice, a week of class practice, then two weeks
of practice games. These were followed by two strenuous weeks of class
and special practices, with classes scrambling to get the Assembly period,
and even 8 o'clock was a sought-after time.

In the match games, as in the practice ones, each class was given a
chance to match strength with each other class, and the rivalry was
spirited before the cup was finally awarded to 1925. The individual cup
was awarded to Helen Sargent.

With the new dignity of its position as a recognized sport, the Life
Saving class was resumed with enthusiasm this fall. Under the instruction
of Frances Fowler, Mate, and Esther Holbrook, Captain, supervised by
Captain Jack Wallace of the American Red Cross, thirty Simmons girls are

Swimming Pool, in Cambridge. Moreover, we sent a goodly representa-
tion to the All New England Championship Meet in January.

We wish in particular to thank Miss Diall and Dr. Hilliard for their
unflagging interest in our efforts.

"BUBart be % Mxt Hates"

Wise folks always tell us
To count our blessings.
And, four words from the wise
Being sufficient —
Here goes.

First and foremost comes

MIC BOARD

Who came early

And stayed late

And never grumbled

And did all the dirty work

The Editor didn't want to do.

And then there's

MISS BABCOCK

Who put the "sense" in censor,

And most of the literary value in MlC.

And then there's all the other
99 4 yioi)% pure good natured souls
Like Ruth Spaulding
Who snapped or posed,
And typed and drew
Luscious cuts.

And speaking of cuts, we hereby

Solemnly swear

That without

MRS. LAFORGE

Mic would never be

The thing of beauty and a joy forever

That it is.

And if

We've omitted anybody —
We didn't mean to.
Anyhow —

WE THANK YOU !

Freshman Frolic — ages ago, before '24 acquired the aplomb that nine
sets of final exams and one Junior Prom bring. We sent home for our small
sister's rompers, or took a large hem in our own most infantile frock, and if
we weren't blessed with curly hair, we spent hours trying to acquire it —
and then it rained.

Remember what a good boy Connie Bouck was, even if her hair wasn't
bobbed then? And how we all adored Agnes with black curls down her
back ! Of course it wouldn't have been a real party either, without Sarah
Curtis' jig. We played drop-the-handkerchief, and the other games we
used to play before Responsibility descended upon us. And wasn't it fun?
Almost worth braving Freshman Physics and its allied terrors again !

Afternoon sunshine pouring through the Refectory windows upon long
tables that were gay with daffodils and yellow ribbons — tables that pres-
ently groaned with chicken patties and other good things to eat : such was
the setting for '24's Sophomore Luncheon. The entertainment for the
occasion consisted mainly of a stage version of a thrilling detective story
by Stephen Leacock ; but the biggest piece of detective work was that done
by '24 itself, in detecting once for all that it was a CLASS. Speeches, and
lustily rendered songs, and the proud anticipation of class rings, and the
long eager rows of loyal Sophomores — all served as clues, and led to the
overwhelming discovery that '24 was — well, that it was our '24 !

"O'er the dew bespangled grass
Trips the lovely Amaryllis
Daisies bend to let her pass
Thrushes praise her with their song."

We sang, and woke the Seniors. Then —

A blast from the trumpets — make way, and make way !

Today we are crowning the Queen of the May.

Do you see her? She's coming, to welcome the Spring

Wjth her pages, and ladies, and Agnes the King.

From her lilac-hung bower Queen Eleanor smiles,
Her dancers have come to her over the miles,
Here is Scotland, here's Ireland, and Russia, and France,
Greece, Rome, even Holland, to play and to dance.

— and then —

STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE! The
dancers stopped and dried their dew-
bespangled feet — and maybe Eleanor
O'Connor and Agnes Broward forgot
their dignity, too, and ran with the
rest of us to those most attractive
tables. For the May was ushered in,
and the Queen crowned, and anyway,
one must eat.

Clipped from the Boston Evening Transcriber, October 21, 1922.

A wedding of great interest to student circles was solemnized this
afternoon when Miss Marian Twenty-Six was joined in matrimony to Mr.
Libby Twenty-Four at the home of their mutual god-parent, Simmons
Collegia.

The bride was exquisitely gowned in a white satin creation, and wore
a veil of real lace, while the groom, tall, dark, brilliantined according to the
latest Vanity Fair, presented a ravishing figure.

Although the family of Twenty-Six has recently moved here from
parts unknown, the bride has become a prominent member of the younger
set, and the wedding marks a union of great social importance.

The groom, who is a promising scion of the influential family of
Twenty-Four, will be remembered as the brother of Mrs. Jo Twenty-Two,
nee Agnes Twenty-Four, whose wedding was the social event of the
season of 1920.

Oh, 'twas early in the morning
On the twenty-fifth of May,

When we Juniors towing Seniors,
Went off gaily for the day.

Toward Nantasket we were headed,
And we swore a mighty vow

That the boxes that we carried
Would be lighter soon, than now.

Soon the good ship Betty Alden
Held the hectic hungry mob,

And the singing that was heard there
'Stonished every stalwart "gob."

After viewing the Leviathan
We arrived; and full of pep,

Proved that as a crowd of eaters,
Twenty-four could keep its rep.

Hardly had the needful hour
Dragged along, till most of us

Donned a bathing suit and shivered.
Others waded — much less fuss.

Then that Paragon of Parklets
Opened doors unto our horde.

We were jolted, bounced and tumbled,
Too hilarious to be bored.

Sloaty rode a roller-coaster

That got stuck up near the sky,

And she lost her last lone hairpin
As the clouds went whirling by.

Then we gathered up the stragglers ;

Seniors didn't want to go,
And they all looked at the Wind Mill

With expressions of deep woe.

But the watchful little Juniors
Piled them on the boat again.

Somehow we weren't quite so hungry
As that morning we had been.

And when that long day had ended,
All we Juniors, every one,

Vowed that never, in our history,
Twenty-four had had such fun.

Of course '24 has always modestly admitted that she's the "... est"
class in Simmons, but when it came to Senior Housewarming, (being out of
hearing of the neighbors), she just naturally forgot the modesty part and
crowed — with reason. For Senior Housewarming was just the kind of a
party that 1924 knows how to have — the "barrels of fun," Lucinda at the
caldron brewing mystery, and Connie and family furnishing comic relief
in their car of a well-known make.

Jay and Libby made us homesick for the old hit — and we got it, too.
Sarah jigged, of course, and those Red Haired Gals presented a lively
demonstration of what makes a song popular. Doughnuts, cider, and the
cremation of Sam McGee. And then, suddenly, a touch of sadness, the first
presentiment of June not far in the offing, as we grouped in South Hall and
sang Pals by the light of our two hundred candles.

Ye lord of the manor was a merrie old soul,

And a merrie old soul was he.
He called for his lords, and he called for his ladies,

And he called for jollie companie.

Ye folks at the feast with a boar were fed,

And a roasted old boar was he.
They delighted in the food, and they hark'ed to the songs,

And they laughed at the players three.

Ye jesters of the court played many a good prank,

And each a good jester was he.
They gorged with plum pudding, they tasted sweet mistle,

So ended the Yule revelrie.

B>tutottt (&nuernm?nt Party, 1023

Come to think of it, every Student Government Party has been an im-
pressive affair since our advent at Simmons four long years ago. But our
Junior Student Government Party somehow assumed an especial dignity
and solemnity. 1923 was relinquishing the helm to 1924 — We were Seniors
at last! We were very conscious of the responsibilities of our last year
when the honored of us stepped forward to receive their flowers ; and when
President Lefavour had finished his words of encouragement we were
sure that our carefree days were over forever and anon.

There was a certain something about lobster salad, ice cream and the
things akin to them, however, that made for a more facetious frame of
mind. We outdid our competitors in the race for "seconds" and it was only
at step-singing that we remembered our impending dignity. Then, as the
Seniors marched out singing Alma Mater, came the realization that Com-
mencement was close upon us, and that for a year Simmons was to look to
us for the steady hands to steer our student craft.

The 'Steps,

And many upturned faces

Of them that love

The Steps ;

A symbol —

Of our poor climb, perhaps —

Something that pulses, intangible,

From you to me.

A tie,

The strife of day forgot,

Cooled in the shades of dusk,

Softened by a song.

Twilight,

The lengthened shadows fuse

All colors to a gray.

A trembling silence

When Melody has died.

Alma Mater —

The somber marching file

Of Seniors in the lead,

Hushed, contemplative.

The thought:

May we be worthy of those

Who come to love

The Steps.

Who ever heard of "This" as a title for a Minstrel Show? But then,
who ever heard of such a minstrel show, anyhow, as '24's? All those who
were lucky enough to see this "seven wonders of the world" creation, as
displayed in this boisterous success, agree that posterity will have to travel
some to produce anything better.

That famous hit, "Soup," still rings in our ears on occasion, and the
capers cut by "Eve" kicked up an awful dust. Jay and Libby haven't lived
down their fame to this day (for further reference, see Senior Housewarm-
ing, this volume) ; and neither have Cally and Faith, the "Gold Dust
Twins."

"Spring Onions" — a tearful play produced by "Romie" and Mary, fol-
lowed most appropriately by "The Two Dusky Tears," in the persons of
Connie and Marj, and then those old Southern ditties sung by the Min-
strelers, with Cinder's masculine boom — well, every bit of it was one gale
of laughter. And then Clementine finished us off, rendering us completely
helpless with her artistic vamping of that honorable and worthy gentleman,
George Washington, known in private life as "Rosie." Alexander Napoleon
Pershing, at the central vantage point, intercepted all forward passes and
side plays between Dottie and Rosie, scoring considerable on his own ac-
count. Of course he didn't fool us a bit, because who but Agnes could pro-
duce so realistic an accent ready-made?

To cap the whole event, our mascot made his first public appearance,
life-size, and was greeted with applause appropriate for the chief per-
former in the affairs of that super-lucky class of '24.

'Twas the night before Prom Night at dorms and at Pete ;

Juniors anxiously wondered what gentleman neat

They could haul as their partner the next night for Prom,

For Bill had refused, and they couldn't reach Tom,

And Frank was engaged, and Horatio was ill,

And Algernon, everyone knew, was a pill.

So all that remained for these wild women fair,

Was to ask room-mate's brother. They flew to prepare

A tactful request for his presence next night

That wouldn't reveal he was her tenth "invite."

'Twas the night of the Prom at Hotel Somerset,
And poor little "Junior" had done naught but fret;
For room-mate's fair brother had never replied
To the tactful request. Could it be he had died?
But "Junior" dressed up in her most festive gown
And borrowed access'ries from all her home town,
And sat down to wait for the escort to come,
While weak from excitement she counted the sum
Of minutes that passed without any sign,
When suddenly — "Look, who's that standing in line?
That one with the flowers? An Arrow Collar lad.
'Tis room-mate's big brother !" Hoorah and be glad !
Noiv, Seniors, does this sound familiar?
